I'm in a dilema. my 03 6.0 needs to be replaced and the cheapest replacement engine I can find (installed and fully accessorized) is $13,500 at the local dealership. For that much money I am considering just putting the money towards a used 7.3. This is a work truck so I need it to be reliable. I have an old 7.3 that won't quite and all the 6.0's I have experience with are not in the least bit reliable. Thoughts?

Ya if your looking for dependability and not a hot rod it would be a good investment. you could sell your blown up six liter for quite a bit Im sure. 7.3s tow like champs.
